Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie, claimed
that she is around $7 million in debt in a recent divorce filing from estranged
husband Michael Lockwood.
In the
papers, Lisa Marie says she is under financial strain despite having an income
of $100,000 a month from Elvis' estate.
When ETOnline
asked her mother, Priscilla, to comment
on the news, she said: "This is very personal, and we're still going
through a lot of different scenarios," Priscilla tells ET's Cameron
Mathison. "There's been a lot of rumors, a lot of speculation which always
goes along with these situations."
"Nothing
is sorted out yet," Priscilla says. "Everything is trying to be
sorted out, and done with dignity and done with care, especially for the
children."
Priscilla
says the couple's 8-year-old twin daughters, Harper and Finley, are living with
her.
Making
things more complicated, Lisa Marie alleges in court documents that
"disturbing" photos of children were discovered on a computer
belonging to Lockwood, she claims she was "shocked and horrified and sick
to [her] stomach," and she is thus asking the court to deny Lockwood's
request for $40,000 per month in spousal support and $100,000 for attorney's
fees.
Lockwood filed a response to his estranged wife's
request for order on Feb. 14, slamming her "distasteful" attempt to
damage his reputation.
"It is
very unfortunate and inappropriate that Ms. Presley chose to file a one-sided,
inaccurate version of the facts in the Family Law Court's publicly accessible
files," Lockwood's lawyer, Jeff Sturman, said in a statement to ET at the
time.
Police are
investigating the claims, but in the meantime, Priscilla says the children are doing
wonderful and have continued seeing both parents.
